Iwama Sunken Bridge, Kochi Castle, Katsurahama, after visiting several well-known attractions in Kochi, the script of the MDM four-person did not stop there.

Accompanied by Nakajima, a "lifelong employee", they embarked on a leisurely self-driving trip around the island.

In Aijin, they soaked in what is said to be the oldest hot spring in Jeondongying, Dogo Onsen, which is said to have a history of 3,000 years, and this hot spring is also the prototype of the oil house in Hayao Miyazaki's animated film "Spirited Away".

In Kagawa, they took a helicopter view of the world's longest and most majestic railroad bridge, the Seto Bridge that connects Okayama Prefecture in Honshu and Kagawa Prefecture in Shikoku.

In Tokushima, a group of people took a yacht to see the Naruto vortex in Naruto City, which is considered one of the "three major trends in the world".

The huge whirlpool, which can reach a diameter of up to 30 meters, is incomparable, and makes first-time visitors like Tian Licheng marvel at the miracle of the Creator.

The tour ends at the "Awa Odori Festival", which is also held in Tokushima.

The festival is the largest summer festival in Shikoku and is held from August 12 to 15 every year.

As the most representative dance festival in August, more than 1 million visitors visit each year, and the population of Tokushima City is only about 260,000.

When night falls, men and women take to the streets with folding fans and choreograph, or spontaneously, perform the Awa Odori from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., and the entire Tokushima night is immersed in a sea of dance.

The movements of the Awa dance are not complicated, basically according to the rhythm of 2 beats, so that the waist is lowered, the upper body is straight, and the right hand and right foot, left hand and left foot are rotated and stretched forward at the same time.

Dancers in small groups of men and women dressed in festive costumes danced along the streets of the venue to the accompaniment of Toei-style instruments such as shamisen, taiko drums, and transverse flutes.

They shouted loud slogans and worked hard to drive the atmosphere of the scene.

Tian Licheng and his teammates sat in the front row of the special seat in the Minamiuchi dance hall, dizzying as the different styles of companies passed by in front of them.

Tokushima's most famous "Tensui Ren" and "Fan Ren" have complex formations and uniform movements, the largest "Yucha Heiren" with more than 350 official members, and the "Shin ばしren" in which the sponsor Suntory executives personally participate in the battle.

The dancers are very generous and each one is fully engaged.

The special seat where the MDM was located was only a few dozen centimeters away from them, and it was almost the only place where there was a chance to make some eye contact with the performers.

Most of the dancers will also cooperate with the shooting of long guns and short guns, leaving a bright smile on the audience's camera.

After the performance at the dance hall, the organizers held an event on the side of the road that was crowded with people so that more people could experience the charm of Awa Odori.

They invited members of the Tokushima professional baseball team, and under the leadership of a handsome man from the athletic department, this huge "mass company" departed from Tokushima Station and traveled along the widest avenue in Tokushima City to the "Awa Kaikan".

Thousands of visitors spontaneously joined in, and the four members of MDM joined the singing and dancing crowd to have fun.

"Dongying's carnival is worthy of its name!" Tian Licheng twisted his waist angrily and said to Yoshida Hibiscus: "I heard that there is a fireworks festival in a while, and there are 8,000 fireworks, which is really bold." ”

The girl asked, "Risei, which do you like better?"

After Tokushima had the Awa Odori Tournament, the Kochi people, who were also in Shikoku, were not far behind.

Since the 50s of the last century, Kochi has held a grand festival from August 9th to 12th, in front of the Tokushima Awa Odori Festival, in order to encourage the spirit of the citizens.

Because of the trip around the island, MDM only participated in the first two days of the event on the 9th and 10th, and missed the grand national meeting and commendation ceremony of the Night Came Festival.

Tian Licheng felt in his heart that the government and the people had invested unprecedentedly together, and the traditional Awa Dance Conference was even better, but looking at his girlfriend next to him, his words hung up on his lips:

"Each has its own characteristics. It mainly depends on who is around. Otherwise, no matter how wonderful the memorial is, it will be tasteless. ”

This answer undoubtedly made Yoshida very satisfied, she smiled and grabbed her boyfriend's arm, and sent the octopus balls in her hand to Lao Tian's mouth: "We will also come together in the coming year, ah~~~~"

Shi Geqi and Yamamoto saw that the two of them were talking to each other, and even began to feed and play in public, and the resentment of the single dog exploded.

Lao Shi said to Yamamoto: "The two of us will go to your Sendai hometown to watch the Tanabata Festival next year, and it happens to be the beginning of August, so we won't be the light bulbs." ”

Yamamoto replied, "No problem, the people of Sendai welcome you." ”

Hearing the complaints of her teammates, the eldest lady said with a smile: "Ah, Licheng, let's go to Sendai to participate in the Tanabata Festival in the next year."

The schedule was just in time, and I hadn't been to Sendai before. Yamamoto, it's up to you then. ”

While Yoshida Hibiscus was speaking, Nakajima, who followed behind the four of them and held various snacks in his hands, immediately handed Yamamoto and Lao Shi a skewer of grilled squid.

Forced by the female power of the eldest lady and the temptation of the heat and fragrance in front of him, Yamamoto could only reply, "No problem, the people of Sendai welcome you." ”

Shi Geqi took a bite of the squid fiercely: "Yamamoto, you traitor!Hmm~~ For the sake of the squid......"

A few people talked and laughed while eating and playing, and with the bright fireworks in the night sky, MDM's 2014 Summer Shikoku Tour finally came to an end.

Lao Shi and Yamamoto decided to visit Shikoku for a few more days, and they were haunted that day when they didn't see the legendary Angel Road in Kagawa Shodoshima, and decided to go again.

Tian Licheng had a temporary matter, and the next morning after the meeting, he stepped on a flight back to Tokyo alone.

"Sugar", the song Tian Licheng wrote to the Rainbow Orchestra at that time, has already been recorded, and the filming of the MV has also gone through six weeks, and this Sunday is the final finale.

HYDE, the lead singer of the Rainbow Band, called and hoped that Tian Licheng could participate in the filming of the last wedding banquet in the MV as a songwriter.

Thinking that he had readily promised HYDE to be on call at that time, and now it was such an important moment as the finale, Tian Licheng could only say goodbye first after explaining the situation to his teammates, especially Yoshida.

I had in mind the Shikoku style of summer, but my body had already returned to Tokyo in just one hour.

Looking at the crowded exit in front of him and the hurried passengers around him, Tian Licheng actually felt like a world away.

Compared to the whirlpools on the surface of the Naruto Sea, Tokyo is more like a deep black hole, attracting people from all over the world to explore it.

Even the uncle in the front seat who was reading the newspaper leisurely at Tokushima Airport just now, after arriving at Tokyo Airport, couldn't help but speed up his pace.

Tian Licheng took out his mobile phone to report his safety to his teammates, and sent a message of "I'm back" to Nishino.

He tightened the backpack on his back and took a few quick steps to keep up, blending himself into the wave.

"Go home early, and hurry up to finish writing "Barefoot Summer" first. ”
